Yes, the stratum corneum is notable for its keratin content.
The stratum Basale contains the most cells of the epidermis. Through the process of enucleation and apoptosis, the number of cells decrease as you move up the strata (layers).
The stratum basale and the stratum corneum are two of the layers of the epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of your skin. Within the epidermis, the stratum basale is deeper than the stratum corneum, which is the most superficial layer of the epidermis.
Keratin is the waterproof protein predominant in the stratum corneum.
The stratum corneum is a layer of the epidermis. It is not a layer of the hypodermis.
